Charity Auction — Buy a Server Blade from Your Realm: Last Chance!

#1 - Jan. 20, 2012, 5:07 p.m.

If you thought you had missed your chance to own a piece of Blizzard Entertainment history, we have good news for you: it’s not too late! Starting on January 23, we'll be releasing the last batch of retired EU server blades, which will be available for bidding on eBay. Don’t miss your final opportunity to take part in this charity auction — net proceeds will be donated to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

St. Jude is a pediatric hospital and research facility, where patients from Europe and around the world are cared for. European medical professionals benefit from the discoveries made at St. Jude in their treatment of children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Partner clinics across the globe are aided by the hospital's valuable research.

For more details, and to view the auction schedule for this final batch of server blades, please visit our information page.

@Murai: Yes. :( If a realm isn't listed, the server blades for that realm were already sold in the earlier batch of auctions.

@Willow: It might be US based, however we tried to further highlight their influence in Europe this time around, via this excerpt: "St. Jude is a pediatric hospital and research facility, where patients from Europe and around the world are cared for. European medical professionals benefit from the discoveries made at St. Jude in their treatment of children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Partner clinics across the globe are aided by the hospital's valuable research."

Should the charity auction have been only for US realms, maybe a more US centric one would have been more suitable. As it was, the charity auction included EU realm server blades as well as US ones and thus St. Jude seems a good fit considering their global and European influence.

@Blightangel: In the "For more details" link on our information page, it says:

"A blade is literally a self-contained server, which collectively fits into an enclosure with other blades. The enclosure provides the power, cooling, connectivity, and management to each blade. The blade servers themselves contain only the core processing elements, making them hot-swappable. HP refers to the entire package as a BladeSystem. By consolidating and housing multiple servers in a single enclosure, energy costs are significantly reduced, cabling is drastically reduced and managing servers is simplified."

@Ruiru: They're pretty nice indeed. I really wish I had bought one from my realm when they were still available in the previous auctions. So many years, so many memories from that place. :)

@Narisha: This is the final wave of the charity auction for EU realms. The server blades for many realms have already been won in the previous waves of the charity auction, which is why they are no longer available.
